The All Progressives Congress(APC) in Oyo State has commiserated with the lawmaker representing Oyo South Senatorial District, Sen. Teslim Folarin, over the demise of his wife, Barr. Angela Folarin.
A statement by the state Publicity Secretary of the party, Dr AbdulAzeez Olatunde, said the death of Angela, who died in the United Kingdom on Friday afternoon, was beyond description and imagination.
“That the woman is of amiable and respectful personality is never an understatement.
“That the woman does not suffer any illness says a lot about this worthless life.
“That the death of Barr. (Mrs) Angela Folarin was devastating to Oyo APC is stating the obvious because we appreciate the wonderful support she had been to our serving Senator Teslim Folarin and we know that her death has created a vacuum that would be difficult to fill in the life of our distinguished Senator.
“Although we are sad, shocked and pained, however, all we have to do now is to pray Almighty God to grant the deceased forgiveness and mercy. We also pray Almighty God to stand by our distinguished Senator Teslim Folarin and the family she left behind.
“On behalf of the Caretaker Chairman of the APC in Oyo State, Chief Akin Oke, the State Caretaker Executive Committee and all the APC members in Oyo State, we send our sympathy to distinguished Senator Teslim Folarin and the entire Folarin family,” the statement read in part.
